CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 ofU.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/523,395 filed on Jun. 22, 2017,the content of which is relied upon and incorporated herein by referencein its entirety.

BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to glass compositions and laminates, and moreparticularly to glass compositions, glass articles and laminatesexhibiting bending properties for use in automotive and architecturalapplications.

Glass is used in windows due to its optical clarity and durability.Automotive and architectural windows (or glazing) may include a singleglass article (in sheet form) referred to as a monolith, or a laminatethat includes two glass articles (in sheet form) with an interlayer of apolymeric material disposed in between. This glazing can be used as awindshield, side lite, rear window, sunroofs and the like in automotiveapplications. Architectural applications may utilize similar glazings inbuildings, panels, walls and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the method of making a curved or shaped laminatedglazing includes forming two glass articles 10A, 10B (typically sodalime glass (SLG) sheets made via a float process), cutting and finishingthe glass articles 20A, 20B, placing one glass article on top of theother glass article and heating the stack of glass articles to atemperature (“sag temperature”) at which the glasses sag together to thedesired shape. As used herein, “sag temperature” means the temperatureat which the log viscosity of the glass article is 9.9 Poise. The sagtemperature is determined by fitting the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT)equation: Log h=A+B/(T−C), where T is the temperature, A, B and C arefitting constants and h is the dynamic viscosity, to annealing pointdata measured using the bending beam viscosity (BBV) measurement, tosoftening point data measured by fiber elongation. When glass articlesare sagged together when stacked on top of one another, the process isreferred to as “pair sagging”) 30. In one or more embodiments, themethod further includes separating the two pair sagged glass articles(typically after the shaped stack is cooled), applying an interlayerbetween the two glass articles, and heating the three-layer stack(including the two pair sagged glass articles and interveninginterlayer) to create the laminate 50. The individual soda lime glass(SLG) glass articles in this laminate construction typically have athickness of about 1.6 mm or greater or about 2.1 mm or greater.

There is a trend toward using lightweight laminates glazing to improvefuel economy. New glazing designs consisting of a thicker outer glassarticle and a thin inner glass article. In one construction, the thickerglass article is SLG and the thinner glass article is a strengthenedglass article. The SLG articles can be annealed but not otherwisestrengthened to a level believed acceptable to compensate for strengthdegradation due to reduction in thickness. For example, even whenchemically strengthened, SLG articles do not exhibit sufficient strengthattributes (in terms of compressive stress and depth of compressivestress).

Thermal tempering is commonly used to strengthen thick, monolithic glassarticles and has the advantage of creating a deep compressive layer onthe glass surface, typically 21% of the overall glass thickness; howeverthe magnitude of the compressive stress is relatively low, typicallyless than 100 MPa. Furthermore, thermal tempering becomes increasinglyineffective for thin glass articles (i.e., glass articles having athickness of less than 2 mm). As such, standard thermal temperingprocess(es) are suitable for strengthening SLG articles having athickness of about 3 mm but not thin SLG articles. Moreover, SLGarticles have poor chemical strengthening characteristics.

Aluminosilicate glass articles are uniquely suited for use as thethinner glass article, especially those articles meeting in today'sglazing optical requirements. In particular, aluminosilicate glassescompositions that can be formed into very thin glass articles via downdraw processes (such as fusion forming processes). Moreover,aluminosilicate glass articles can be strengthened (in particular,chemical strengthened) to exhibit a wide range of compressive stresses(e.g., up to and even exceeding 1,000 MPa) and deep depths ofcompressive stress (e.g., up to and even exceeding 18% or 20% or thethickness of the glass articles).

Known aluminosilicate glasses tend to exhibit high viscosity relative toSLG articles at the SLG sag temperature (i.e., the temperature at whichSLG is typically sagged). Accordingly, this viscosity difference meansknown aluminosilicate glass articles must be sagged separately, as shownin FIG. 1B, and cannot be pair sagged, which adds cost to the overallmanufacturing process. In particular, FIG. 1B shows that when the glassarticles cannot be pair sagged, the method by which laminate glazing ismade includes an additional step of sagging the glass articlesseparately, instead of a single sagging step. Specifically, the methodincludes forming two glass articles 10A, 10B, cutting and finishing theglass articles 20A, 20B, heating each glass article to a sag temperatureto sag each glass article separately to the desired shape 30A, 30B. Useof the method of FIG. 1B could result in shape mismatch between the twoglass articles from the separate sagging steps. Further by using twoseparate sagging steps, twice as much energy and time is utilized.

Accordingly, there is a need for a thin glass article that can be pairsagged with another glass article that may differ in composition,strengthened to a sufficient degree, and is optionally, fusion-formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples ofwhich are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Aspects of this disclosure pertain to a glass article that can be pairsagged with another glass article that differs in any one or more ofcomposition, thickness, strengthen or strengthening level, and formingmethod (e.g., float formed as opposed to fusion formed). In one or moreembodiments, the glass article can be fusion formed or is fusionformable, meaning it is or can be formed using a fusion process.

In most cases automotive glazing is curved or bent, and is not flat orplanar. Architectural applications may also use similarly curved glassarticles. Depending on thicknesses of the glass articles and the desiredshape, the glass articles may be cold-formed (without using heat) orthermally shaped (without heat) to achieve the curved shape.

Thermal shaping can include a sagging process, which uses gravity toshape the glass when it is heated. In the sagging step, a glass articleis placed on top of another glass article forming a stack (with apotential intervening release layer), which is placed on a mold. Thestack and mold are both heated by placing in a furnace (e.g., a boxfurnace, or a lehr furnace) in which the stack is gradually heated tothe sag temperature of the glass articles. During this process, gravitysags the glass articles together to a curved shape.

The heating time and temperature are selected to obtain the desireddegree of sagging and final shape. Subsequently, the glass articles areremoved from the furnace and cooled. The two glass articles are thenseparated, re-assembled with an interlayer between the glass articlesand heated under vacuum to seal the glass articles and interlayertogether into a laminate.

Sagging the two glass articles together as shown in step 40 of FIG. 1Astreamlines the manufacturing process; however, when the glass articleshave different sag temperatures, pair sagging becomes a challenge. Forexample, known aluminosilicate glasses have a sag temperature that ismore than 80° C. greater than the sag temperature of SLG. Moreover,known aluminosilicate glasses have viscosities that are more than 200times greater than the viscosity of typical SLG at their respective sagtemperatures.

A first aspect of this disclosure pertains to a glass article that canbe pair sagged with another glass article that differs in any one ormore of composition, thickness, strengthening level, and forming method(e.g., float formed as opposed to fusion formed). In particular, theembodiments of the glass article can be pair sagged with SLG or otherglass articles with lower sag temperatures than known aluminosilicateglass articles, even when at reduced thicknesses (e.g., less than 2.1 mmor less than 1.6 mm).

In one or more embodiments, the glass composition is fusion formable ascharacterized by its compatibility with current fusion-draw designsrequiring zircon refractory lining and hardware for isopipes. In someinstances, glass compositions can to react with the zircon, breaking thezircon down into silica, which dissolves in the glass, and zirconia,which forms solid inclusions that are entrained by flow into the moltenglass and ends up in the final glass article. The attack of zircon bythe molten glass continues over time and the level or concentration ofzirconia inclusions in the glass increases. If the temperature at whichthe zircon in the isopipe breaks down to form zirconia and silica (alsoreferred to herein as the “breakdown temperature” or “T^(breakdown)”) ishigher than any temperature seen on the isopipe, the problem of zirconiainclusions in fusion-drawn glass (also referred to as “fusion linezirconia”) would not occur. In this instance, the temperatures used toform the glass over the isopipe would be too low to create zirconia, andno such defect could form in the glass. Because fusion is essentially anisoviscous process, the highest temperature seen by the glasscorresponds to a particular viscosity of the glass. In those standardfusion-draw operations known in the art, this viscosity is about 35,000poise (“35 kPoise” or “35 kp”). In one or more embodiments, the glasscompositions described herein exhibit a zircon breakdown viscosity ofless than about 35 kP, while also exhibiting the other propertiesdescribed herein. In particular, the glass compositions described hereinexhibit a zircon breakdown viscosity in a range from about 6 kP up toabout 35 kP, while also exhibiting the relationship of (annealpoint+softening point)/2 in a range from about 625° C. to about 725° C.

Coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) are expressed herein in terms ofparts per million (ppm)/° C. and represent a value measured over atemperature range from about 20° C. to about 300° C., unless otherwisespecified. High temperature (or liquid) coefficients of thermalexpansion (high temperature CTE) are also expressed in terms of part permillion (ppm) per degree Celsius (ppm/° C.), and represent a valuemeasured in the high temperature plateau region of the instantaneouscoefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) vs. temperature curve. The hightemperature CTE measures the volume change associated with heating orcooling of the glass through the transformation region.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article exhibits CTE measured overa temperature range from about 20° C. to about 300° C. in the range fromabout 75×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. or greater, or about 80×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C.

In some embodiments, the glass article exhibits a high temperature (orliquid) CTE in the range from about 75×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 120×10⁻⁷ppm/° C., from about 80×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 120×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., fromabout 85×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 120×10⁻⁷ ppm 1° C., from about 90×10⁻⁷ppm/° C. to about 120×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., from about 95×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. toabout 120×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., from about 100×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 120×10⁻⁷ppm/° C., from about 75×10⁻′ppm/° C. to about 115×10⁻′ppm/° C., fromabout 75×10⁻′ppm/° C. to about 110×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., from about 75×10⁻⁷ppm/° C. to about 105×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., from about 75×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. toabout 100×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., from about 75×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 95×10⁻⁷ppm/° C., from about 80×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 100×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., fromabout 90×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C. to about 100×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C., or from about 95×10⁻⁷ppm/° C. to about 100×10⁻⁷ ppm/° C.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article exhibits a Young's modulusin the range from about 70 GPa to about 85 GPa, from about 72 GPa toabout 85 GPa, from about 74 GPa to about 85 GPa, from about 75 GPa toabout 85 GPa, from about 76 GPa to about 85 GPa, from about 70 GPa toabout 80 GPa, from about 72 GPa to about 80 GPa, from about 74 GPa toabout 80 GPa, from about 75 GPa to about 80 GPa, from about 76 GPa toabout 80 GPa, from about 70 GPa to about 78 GPa, from about 70 GPa toabout 76 GPa, from about 70 GPa to about 75 GPa, from about 72 GPa toabout 78 GPa, from about 75 GPa to about 79 GPa, or from about 70 GPa toabout 77 GPa.

Referring to FIG. 3, embodiments of the glass article 100 include afirst major surface 102, an opposing second major surface 104 defining athickness t 110 between the first major surface and the second majorsurface.

In one or more embodiments, the thickness t may be about 3 millimetersor less (e.g., in the range from about 0.01 millimeter to about 3millimeters, from about 0.1 millimeter to about 3 millimeters, fromabout 0.2 millimeter to about 3 millimeters, from about 0.3 millimeterto about 3 millimeters, from about 0.4 millimeter to about 3millimeters, from about 0.01 millimeter to about 2.5 millimeters, fromabout 0.01 millimeter to about 2 millimeters, from about 0.01 millimeterto about 1.5 millimeters, from about 0.01 millimeter to about 1millimeter, from about 0.01 millimeter to about 0.9 millimeter, fromabout 0.01 millimeter to about 0.8 millimeter, from about 0.01millimeter to about 0.7 millimeter, from about 0.01 millimeter to about0.6 millimeter, from about 0.01 millimeter to about 0.5 millimeter, fromabout 0.1 millimeter to about 0.5 millimeter, or from about 0.3millimeter to about 0.5 millimeter.)

The glass article may be substantially planar sheet, although otherembodiments may utilize a curved or otherwise shaped or sculptedarticle. In some instances, the glass article may have a 3D or 2.5Dshape. Additionally or alternatively, the thickness of the glass articlemay be constant along one or more dimension or may vary along one ormore of its dimensions for aesthetic and/or functional reasons. Forexample, the edges of the glass article may be thicker as compared tomore central regions of the glass article. The length, width andthickness dimensions of the glass article may also vary according to thearticle application or use. In some embodiments, the glass article 100Amay have a wedged shape in which the thickness at one minor surface 106is greater than the thickness at an opposing minor surface 108, asillustrated in FIG. 3. Where the thickness varies, the thickness rangesdisclosed herein are the maximum thickness between the major surfaces.

The glass article may have a refractive index in the range from about1.45 to about 1.55. As used herein, the refractive index values are withrespect to a wavelength of 550 nm.

The glass article may be characterized by the manner in which it isformed. For instance, where the glass article may be characterized asfloat-formable (i.e., formed by a float process, or float-formed), ordown-drawable (i.e., formed by a down-draw process, or down-drawn).Particular examples of down draw processes include a fusion draw processor a slot draw process. Glass articles made by fusion draw processes arefusion formed, and glass articles formed by a slot draw process are slotdrawn.

Some embodiments of the glass articles described herein may be formed bya float process. A float-formed glass article may be characterized bysmooth surfaces and uniform thickness is made by floating molten glasson a bed of molten metal, typically tin. In an example process, moltenglass that is fed onto the surface of the molten tin bed forms afloating glass ribbon. As the glass ribbon flows along the tin bath, thetemperature is gradually decreased until the glass ribbon solidifiesinto a solid glass article that can be lifted from the tin onto rollers.Once off the bath, the glass article can be cooled further and annealedto reduce internal stress. In some embodiments, float formed glassarticles exhibit draw lines from the tin bath.

Some embodiments of the glass articles described herein may be formed bya down-draw process. Down-drawn glass articles have a uniform thicknessand relatively pristine surfaces. Because the average flexural strengthof the glass article is controlled by the amount and size of surfaceflaws, a pristine surface that has had minimal contact has a higherinitial strength. In addition, down drawn glass articles have a veryflat, smooth surface that can be used in its final application withoutcostly grinding and polishing.

The fusion process uses a drawing tank that has a channel for acceptingmolten glass raw material. The channel has weirs that are open at thetop along the length of the channel on both sides of the channel. Whenthe channel fills with molten material, the molten glass overflows theweirs. Due to gravity, the molten glass flows down the outside surfacesof the drawing tank as two flowing glass films. These outside surfacesof the drawing tank extend down and inwardly so that they join at anedge below the drawing tank. The two flowing glass films join at thisedge to fuse and form a single flowing glass article. The fusion drawmethod offers the advantage that, because the two glass films flowingover the channel fuse together, neither of the outside surfaces of theresulting glass article comes in contact with any part of the apparatus.Thus, the surface properties of the fusion drawn glass article are notaffected by such contact.

Some embodiments of the glass articles described herein may be formed bya slot draw process. The slot draw process is distinct from the fusiondraw method. In slow draw processes, the molten raw material glass isprovided to a drawing tank. The bottom of the drawing tank has an openslot with a nozzle that extends the length of the slot. The molten glassflows through the slot/nozzle and is drawn downward as a continuousglass article and into an annealing region.

In one or more embodiments, the glass articles described herein mayexhibit an amorphous microstructure and may be substantially free ofcrystals or crystallites. In other words, the glass articles excludeglass-ceramic materials.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article exhibits a total solartransmittance of about 90% or less, over a wavelength range from about300 nm to about 2500 nm, when the glass article has a thickness of 0.7mm. For example, the glass article exhibits a total solar transmittancein a range from about 60% to about 88%, from about 62% to about 88%,from about 64% to about 88%, from about 65% to about 88%, from about 66%to about 88%, from about 68% to about 88%, from about 70% to about 88%,from about 72% to about 88%, from about 60% to about 86%, from about 60%to about 85%, from about 60% to about 84%, from about 60% to about 82%,from about 60% to about 80%, from about 60% to about 78%, from about 60%to about 76%, from about 60% to about 75%, from about 60% to about 74%,or from about 60% to about 72%.

In one or embodiments, the glass article exhibits an averagetransmittance in the range from about 75% to about 85%, at a thicknessof 0.7 mm or 1 mm, over a wavelength range from about 380 nm to about780 nm. In some embodiments, the average transmittance at this thicknessand over this wavelength range may be in a range from about 75% to about84%, from about 75% to about 83%, from about 75% to about 82%, fromabout 75% to about 81%, from about 75% to about 80%, from about 76% toabout 85%, from about 77% to about 85%, from about 78% to about 85%,from about 79% to about 85%, or from about 80% to about 85%. In one ormore embodiments, the glass article exhibits T_(uv-380) or T_(uv-400) of50% or less (e.g., 49% or less, 48% or less, 45% or less, 40% or less,30% or less, 25% or less, 23% or less, 20% or less, or 15% or less), ata thickness of 0.7 mm or 1 mm, over a wavelength range from about 300 nmto about 400 nm.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article may be strengthened toinclude compressive stress (CS) that extends from a surface to a depthof compression (DOC). The surface (CS) regions are balanced by a centralportion exhibiting a tensile stress (CT). At the DOC, the stress crossesfrom a positive (compressive) stress to a negative (tensile) stress;however compressive stress and tensile stress values provided herein areabsolute values.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article may be strengthenedmechanically by utilizing a mismatch of the coefficient of thermalexpansion between portions of the article to create a compressive stressregion and a central region exhibiting a tensile stress. In someembodiments, the glass article may be strengthened thermally by heatingthe glass to a temperature below the glass transition point and thenrapidly quenching.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article may be chemicallystrengthening by ion exchange. In the ion exchange process, ions at ornear the surface of the glass article are replaced by—or exchangedwith—larger ions having the same valence or oxidation state. In thoseembodiments in which the glass article comprises an alkalialuminosilicate glass, ions in the surface layer of the article and thelarger ions are monovalent alkali metal cations, such as Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺,Rb⁺, and Cs⁺. Alternatively, monovalent cations in the surface layer maybe replaced with monovalent cations other than alkali metal cations,such as Ag⁺ or the like. In such embodiments, the monovalent ions (orcations) exchanged into the glass article generate a stress.

Ion exchange processes are typically carried out by immersing a glassarticle in a molten salt bath (or two or more molten salt baths)containing the larger ions to be exchanged with the smaller ions in theglass article. It should be noted that aqueous salt baths may also beutilized. In addition, the composition of the bath(s) may include morethan one type of larger ion (e.g., Na+ and K+) or a single larger ion.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that parameters forthe ion exchange process, including, but not limited to, bathcomposition and temperature, immersion time, the number of immersions ofthe glass article in a salt bath (or baths), use of multiple salt baths,additional steps such as annealing, washing, and the like, are generallydetermined by the composition of the glass article (including thestructure of the article and any crystalline phases present) and thedesired DOC and CS of the glass article that results from strengthening.Exemplary molten bath composition may include nitrates, sulfates, andchlorides of the larger alkali metal ion. Typical nitrates include KNO₃,NaNO₃, LiNO₃, NaSO₄ and combinations thereof. The temperature of themolten salt bath typically is in a range from about 380° C. up to about450° C., while immersion times range from about 15 minutes up to about100 hours depending on glass article thickness, bath temperature andglass (or monovalent ion) diffusivity. However, temperatures andimmersion times different from those described above may also be used.

In one or more embodiments, the glass articles may be immersed in amolten salt bath of 100% NaNO₃, 100% KNO₃, or a combination of NaNO₃ andKNO₃ having a temperature in a range from about 370° C. to about 480° C.

In some embodiments, the glass article may be immersed in a molten mixedsalt bath including from about 5% to about 90% KNO₃ and from about 10%to about 95% NaNO₃. In one or more embodiments, the glass article may beimmersed in a second bath, after immersion in a first bath. The firstand second baths may have different compositions and/or temperaturesfrom one another. The immersion times in the first and second baths mayvary. For example, immersion in the first bath may be longer than theimmersion in the second bath.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article may be immersed in amolten, mixed salt bath including NaNO₃ and KNO₃ (e.g., 49%/51%,50%/50%, 51%/49%) having a temperature less than about 420° C. (e.g.,about 400° C. or about 380° C.). for less than about 5 hours, or evenabout 4 hours or less.

Ion exchange conditions can be tailored to provide a “spike” or toincrease the slope of the stress profile at or near the surface of theresulting glass article. The spike may result in a greater surface CSvalue. This spike can be achieved by single bath or multiple baths, withthe bath(s) having a single composition or mixed composition, due to theunique properties of the glass compositions used in the glass articlesdescribed herein.

In one or more embodiments, where more than one monovalent ion isexchanged into the glass article, the different monovalent ions mayexchange to different depths within the glass article (and generatedifferent magnitudes stresses within the glass article at differentdepths). The resulting relative depths of the stress-generating ions canbe determined and cause different characteristics of the stress profile.

Surface CS is measured using those means known in the art, such as bysurface stress meter (FSM) using commercially available instruments suchas the FSM-6000, manufactured by Orihara Industrial Co., Ltd. (Japan).Surface stress measurements rely upon the accurate measurement of thestress optical coefficient (SOC), which is related to the birefringenceof the glass. SOC in turn is measured by those methods that are known inthe art, such as fiber and four point bend methods, both of which aredescribed in ASTM standard C770-98 (2013), entitled “Standard TestMethod for Measurement of Glass Stress-Optical Coefficient,” thecontents of which are incorporated herein by reference in theirentirety, and a bulk cylinder method. As used herein CS may be the“maximum compressive stress” which is the highest compressive stressvalue measured within the compressive stress layer. In some embodiments,the maximum compressive stress is located at the surface of the glassarticle. In other embodiments, the maximum compressive stress may occurat a depth below the surface, giving the compressive profile theappearance of a “buried peak.”

DOC may be measured by FSM or by a scattered light polariscope (SCALP)(such as the SCALP-04 scattered light polariscope available fromGlasstress Ltd., located in Tallinn, Estonia), depending on thestrengthening method and conditions. When the glass article ischemically strengthened by an ion exchange treatment, FSM or SCALP maybe used depending on which ion is exchanged into the glass article.Where the stress in the glass article is generated by exchangingpotassium ions into the glass article, FSM is used to measure DOC. Wherethe stress is generated by exchanging sodium ions into the glassarticle, SCALP is used to measure DOC. Where the stress in the glassarticle is generated by exchanging both potassium and sodium ions intothe glass, the DOC is measured by SCALP, since it is believed theexchange depth of sodium indicates the DOC and the exchange depth ofpotassium ions indicates a change in the magnitude of the compressivestress (but not the change in stress from compressive to tensile); theexchange depth of potassium ions in such glass articles is measured byFSM.

In one or more embodiments, the glass article may be strengthened toexhibit a DOC that is described a fraction of the thickness t of theglass article (as described herein). For example, in one or moreembodiments, the DOC may be equal to or greater than about 0.03 t, equalto or greater than about 0.05 t, equal to or greater than about 0.06 t,equal to or greater than about 0.1 t, equal to or greater than about0.11 t, equal to or greater than about 0.12 t, equal to or greater thanabout 0.13 t, equal to or greater than about 0.14 t, equal to or greaterthan about 0.15 t, equal to or greater than about 0.16 t, equal to orgreater than about 0.17 t, equal to or greater than about 0.18 t, equalto or greater than about 0.19 t, equal to or greater than about 0.2 t,equal to or greater than about 0.21 t. In some embodiments, The DOC maybe in a range from about 0.03 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.04 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.05 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.06 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.07 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.08 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.09 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.18 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.11 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.12 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.13 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.14 t toabout 0.25 t, from about 0.15 t to about 0.25 t, from about 0.03 t toabout 0.24 t, from about 0.03 t to about 0.23 t, from about 0.03 t toabout 0.22 t, from about 0.03 t to about 0.21 t, from about 0.03 t toabout 0.2 t, from about 0.03 t to about 0.19 t, from about 0.03 t toabout 0.18 t, from about 0.03 t to about 0.17 t, from about 0.03 t toabout 0.16 t, or from about 0.03 t to about 0.15 t. In some instances,the DOC may be about 20 μm or less. In one or more embodiments, the DOCmay be about 35 μm or greater (e.g., from about 40 μm to about 300 μm,from about 50 μm to about 300 μm, from about 60 μm to about 300 μm, fromabout 70 μm to about 300 μm, from about 80 μm to about 300 μm, fromabout 90 μm to about 300 μm, from about 100 μm to about 300 μm, fromabout 110 μm to about 300 μm, from about 120 μm to about 300 μm, fromabout 140 μm to about 300 μm, from about 150 μm to about 300 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 290 μm, from about 40 μm to about 280 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 260 μm, from about 40 μm to about 250 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 240 μm, from about 40 μm to about 230 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 220 μm, from about 40 μm to about 210 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 200 μm, from about 40 μm to about 180 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 160 μm, from about 40 μm to about 150 μm, fromabout 40 μm to about 140 μm, from about 40 μm to about 130 μm, fromabout 40 jam to about 120 μm, from about 40 μm to about 110 μm, or fromabout 40 μm to about 100 μm).

In one or more embodiments, the third major surface or the fourth majorsurface of the second curved glass layer exhibits low membrane tensilestress. Membrane tensile stress can occur during cooling of curvedlayers and laminates. As the glass cools, the major surfaces and edgesurfaces (orthogonal to the major surfaces) can develop surfacecompression, which is counterbalanced by a central region exhibiting atensile stress. Bending or shaping can introduce additional surfacetension near the edge and causes the central tensile region to approachthe glass surface. Accordingly, membrane tensile stress is the tensilestress measured near the edge (e.g., about 10-25 mm from the edgesurface). In one or more embodiments, the membrane tensile stress at thethird major surface or the fourth major surface of the second curvedglass layer is less than about 7 MPa as measured by a surface stressmeter according to ASTM C1279.

An indicatorof a cold-formed laminate is the fourth surface 514 has a greatersurface CS than the third surface 512. Accordingly, a cold-formedlaminate can comprise a high compressive stress level on fourth surface514 making this surface more resistant to fracture.

In one or more embodiments, prior to the cold-forming process, therespective compressive stresses in the third surface 512 and fourthsurface 514 are substantially equal. In one or more embodiments in whichthe first glass layer is unstrengthened, the third surface 512 and thefourth surface 514 exhibit no appreciable compressive stress, prior tocold-forming. In one or more embodiments in which the first glass layer510 is strengthened (as described herein), the third surface 512 and thefourth surface 514 exhibit substantially equal compressive stress withrespect to one another, prior to cold-forming. In one or moreembodiments, after cold-forming, the compressive stress on the fourthsurface 514 increases (i.e., the compressive stress on the fourthsurface 514 is greater after cold-forming than before cold-forming).Without being bound by theory, the cold-forming process increases thecompressive stress of the glass layer being shaped (i.e., the firstglass layer) to compensate for tensile stresses imparted during bendingand/or forming operations. In one or more embodiments, the cold-formingprocess causes the third surface of that glass layer (i.e., the thirdsurface 512) to experience tensile stresses, while the fourth surface ofthe glass layer (i.e., the fourth surface 514) experiences compressivestresses.

When a strengthened first glass layer 510 is utilized, the third andfourth surfaces (512, 514) are already under compressive stress, andthus the third surface 512 can experience greater tensile stress. Thisallows for the strengthened first glass layer 510 to conform to moretightly curved surfaces.

In one or more embodiments, the first glass layer 510 has a thicknessless than the second glass layer 530. This thickness differential meansthe first glass layer 510 is more flexible to conform to the shape ofthe second glass layer 530. Moreover, a thinner first glass layer 510may deform more readily to compensate for shape mismatches and gapscreated by the shape of the second glass layer 530. In one or moreembodiments, a thin and strengthened first glass layer 510 exhibitsgreater flexibility especially during cold-forming. In one or moreembodiments, the first glass layer 510 conforms to the second glasslayer 530 to provide a substantially uniform distance between the secondsurface 534 and the third surface 512, which is filled by theinterlayer.

In some non-limiting embodiments, the cold-formed laminate 500 may beformed using an exemplary cold forming process that is performed at atemperature at or just above the softening temperature of the interlayermaterial (e.g., 520) (e.g., about 100° C. to about 120° C.), that is, ata temperature less than the softening temperature of the respectiveglass layers. In one embodiment as shown in FIG. 7, the cold-formedlaminate may be formed by: placing an interlayer between the secondglass layer (which is curved) and a first glass layer (which may beflat) to form a stack; applying pressure to the stack to press thesecond glass layer against the interlayer layer which is pressed againstthe first glass layer; and heating the stack to a temperature below 400°C. to form the cold-formed laminate in which the second glass layerconforms in shape to the first glass layer. Such a process can occurusing a vacuum bag or ring in an autoclave or another suitableapparatus. The stress of an exemplary first glass layer 410 may changefrom substantially symmetrical to asymmetrical according to someembodiments of the present disclosure.

As used herein, “flat” and “planar” are used interchangeably and mean ashape having curvature less than a curvature at which lamination defectsare created due to curvature mismatch, when such a flat layer iscold-formed to another layer (i.e., a radius of curvature of greaterthan or equal to about 3 meters, greater than or equal to about 4 metersor greater than or equal to about 5 meters). A flat layer has theforegoing shape when placed on a surface. As used herein, a “simplecurve” or “simply curved” means a non-planar shape having curvaturealong one axis (forming a cylindrical shape or bend). As used herein“complex curve” and “complexly curved” mean a non-planar shape havingcurvature along two orthogonal axes that are different from one another.Examples of complexly curved shapes include having simple or compoundcurves, also referred to as non-developable shapes, which include butare not limited to spherical, aspherical, and toroidal. The complexlycurved shapes may also include segments or portions of such surfaces, orbe comprised of a combination of such curves and surfaces. In one ormore embodiments, a laminate may have a simple curve or complex curve.In one or more embodiments the first glass layer, the second glasslayer, the laminate or a combination thereof may have a simple curve orcomplexly curved shape and may be cold-formed. As a non-limitingexample, the simply-curved laminate may have length and width dimensionsof 0.5 m by 1.0 m and a radius of curvature of 2 to 5 m along a singleaxis.

A complexly curved laminate according to one or more embodiments mayhave a distinct radius of curvature in two independent directions.According to one or more embodiments, complexly curved laminates maythus be characterized as having “cross curvature,” where the laminate iscurved along an axis (i.e., a first axis) that is parallel to a givendimension and also curved along an axis (i.e., a second axis) that isperpendicular to the same dimension. The curvature of the laminate canbe even more complex when a significant minimum radius is combined witha significant cross curvature, and/or depth of bend. Some laminates mayalso include bending along axes that are not perpendicular to oneanother. As a non-limiting example, the complexly-curved laminate mayhave length and width dimensions of 0.5 m by 1.0 m and a radius ofcurvature of 2 to 2.5 m along the minor axis, and a radius of curvatureof 4 to 5 m along the major axis. In one or more embodiments, thecomplexly-curved laminate may have a radius of curvature of 5 m or lessalong at least one axis. In one or more embodiments, thecomplexly-curved laminate may have a radius of curvature of 5 m or lessalong at least a first axis and along the second axis that isperpendicular to the first axis. In one or more embodiments, thecomplexly-curved laminate may have a radius of curvature of 5 m or lessalong at least a first axis and along the second axis that is notperpendicular to the first axis.

As shown in FIG. 8, first glass layer 410 may be simply-curved orcomplexly-curved and have at least one concave surface (e.g., surface514) providing a fourth surface of the laminate and at least one convexsurface (e.g., surface 512) to provide a third surface of the laminateopposite the first surface with a thickness therebetween. In thecold-forming embodiment, the second glass sheet 530 may becomplexly-curved and have at least one concave surface (e.g., secondsurface 534) and at least one convex surface (e.g., first surface 532)with a thickness therebetween.

In one or more embodiments, one or more of interlayer 520, first glasslayer 510, and second glass layer 530 comprise a first edge (e.g., 535)with a first thickness and a second edge (e.g., 537) opposite the firstedge with a second thickness greater than the first thickness.
